Strange Condition of Water

The Keokuk Gate city says that a
rather singular phenomena has manifest,
ed itself on the Mississippi river there
during the past few Gays. The water
has the appearance of dark green and
the color is more noticeable in the waves
created by the passage of a. steamboat.
1t is said that if quantity of water is
motionless for short time that green
scum will form on the surface. There is
no such appearance here and the cause of
it at Keokuk is probably accounted
for by the low stage of the water.

A more heartily disappointed and dis
gusted crowd never entered the Rec
Island ball park than that which wit
messed the farce of yesterday afternoon.
The management of the Rock Island
club, however, was il no way to blame
for the ridiculous proceedings. On July
4th it will be remembered, a club known
as the Davenport Grays came over and
played very close and interesting game
with the Rock Island boys, who were
then but fairly organized, and the Dav-
export side presented very good nine.
1t was reasonable to suppose from this
that the game of yesterday would
have been much more exciting than 1t
was. But the Grass of yesterday were
lot of kids" boys who knew perhaps
how to play ball as far as the rules are
concerned, but when it came to active
practice, they were no earthly good. 1t
may have been fun for the Rock Islands
but for no one else. The Rock Islands
were not shut out in a single inning, Sc
curing seven runs the first inning and in
only one innings afterwards was there
less than two tallies made. The Rock
Island players themselves became tired OF
the nonsense at the end of the seventh
innings and the game was ended. The
score h; innings WAS.

The failure of the present ministry in
the French Assembly seems certain.
There is no majority to do anything posi-
tive. Either the Deputies do not fairly
represent the national opinion, in which
case dissolution ere long is unavoidable,
or that opinion is not sufficiently definite
to afford the basis of parliamentary gov
eminent, in which case revolution is not
impossible. In any event, the fall of a
ministry on a question connected with a
loan for military purposes is not calcu-
lated to strengthen the position of France
in the present threatening condition Of

prMocnAvs or MALONE MEN,
The people Of Virginia in the neI

The people of Virginia in the next
canvass for elections will be called on to
decide whether the present directors OF
the Democratic party can or cannot force
the voters of the party to come TO the
polls and vote for platform that is not
Democratic, but borrowed, captured, or
stolen from Malone.
We understand very distinctly that
Malone organized revolt against the
Democratic party on alleged free princi-
Piles, as opposed to oldfogyism and ring
rule. bad management in the basement
offices, and aristocratic privileges for the
old fogies We understand, also, when
Mr. Malone was discovered and cxhib-
tied as the champion political fraud OF
the day, who affected principles and used
only machine, that he was incontinently
sat down on.
1t is true that a Republican banner in
Virginia blazoned with the personally OF
Malone could be beaten under ordinary
circumstances, but with or without Ma
hone, the Republican party will cverrun-
this State for want of votes in the Demo
cratic ranks if the policy" Of our states
man-like friends in the Capitol is, as 1t
seems to be, to denounce nen as not
Democrats who refuse to back their idea
of ante-war notification.
A majority cannot put on the imperial
purple of arbitrary control in this day OF
free ideas; and it cannot advance the alb
surd theory that Southern State can
achieve a Calhoun doctrine twenty years
after Appomattox Court House.
We want some sense, character, princi-
pie and justice; and all that is being done
Tor the Democratic party now is the re-
verse of all of these. 1t is simply nonsense
for set Of politicians to cry aloud that
men who don't follow their policy are not
Democrats The fault is that the policy
has no sense il 1t.
The duty of the Democratic leaders is
o assert their power with principle to

Cincinnati will be, as nearly as its age
can be reckoned, one hundred years old in
1888. A beautiful city on plain and
surrounded by hills, it has had a rapidity
of growth which is astonishing. At the
beginning of the century there were seven
hundred and fifty people on its site. In
this year of our Lord 1887, the native mod
esty of its inhabitants forbids them to say
that it is the pivotal centre on which the
solar system swings. 1t will celebrate its
centennial with all the ceremonies that
local pride can suggest, and the HeraId
will send its best wishes.-Neu York
